Legend of Light Snow Solar Term What is the origin and legend of Light Snow Solar Term?

1, Xiaoxue is the twentieth of the twenty-four solar terms. 165438+1On October 22nd or 23rd, when the sun reaches 240, it is called the light snow solar term. At this time, the sun is at-2016 declination. On this day, Beijing's daylight saving time is only 9 hours and 49 minutes, and the height of the sun is only 29 50 at noon.

The primary school said it began to snow, and the amount of snow was not large. "Xiaoxue" is in the second half of the solar calendar 1 1 and the second half of the lunar calendar in October. "Light Snow" is a festival that reflects weather phenomena. The ancient book "Qunfangpu" said: "A light snow will snow when it is cold, but the ground is not cold and the snow is not heavy." That is to say, due to the cold weather, in the "light snow" festival, the form of precipitation changed from rain to snow, but at this time, because the ground is not very cold and the amount of snow is not large, it is called light snow.

3. Light snow indicates the starting time and degree of snowfall in the 24 solar terms. Entering the light snow solar term means that the temperature continues to fall, the weather is cold, and the precipitation state changes from rain to snow. Light snow, like solar terms such as rain and Grain Rain, is a solar term reflecting precipitation, which is different from what we call light snow with less snowfall every day.

4. Entering this solar term, the northwest wind in China began to become a frequent visitor, and the temperature dropped, gradually dropping below 0℃. At this time, Yin Qi fell and Yang Qi rose, which led to the impassability of heaven and earth, the imbalance of yin and yang, the loss of vitality of everything, and the occlusion of heaven and earth into the severe winter. The first snow will appear in the area north of the Yellow River, reminding people that it is time to keep out the cold and keep warm.
